    trying to import from a drupal site with hundreds of nodes (pages, stories, feeds etc) :
    https://www.screencast.com/t/nCRiiiipfCU

    but the *premium* plugin gets stucks and stops without any error, each time in a different stage. farthest i could reach was 19 posts, 27 pages :).

    perhaps a hosting timeout or running out of memory or something?

    what to do?

    Yes, it may come from a timeout or running out of memory on your server.
    In this case, you should use these settings in the php.ini file:

    max_execution_time=3600
    max_input_time=3600
    memory_limit=1G
    post_max_size=1G
    upload_max_filesize=2G

    also please add:
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘1024M’);
    in your wp-config.php file to increase the memory allowed by WordPress.

    If you are on a shared host, you can’t modify the php.ini file. Another solution is to install WordPress on your local computer and run the import in local. In this case, you won’t have the limitations of the shared host. Here is the procedure on Windows: https://www.fredericgilles.net/migrate-wordpress-local-windows-server/

    In any case, if you click again on the import button, it will resume the import where it left off.
